The face you see in the mirror is the exact opposite of the one everyone else sees.

    Does that mean I’m an attractive skinny black woman?

    If you’re in NY, there’s a store on east 2nd street that sells reality mirrors. You have to pay like $150 for a boxy mirror that no one with a manhattan apt could find space for, but they claim seeing your face as it actually is will solve all your problems etc (you know, any issues you have are rooted in the psychological harm of not knowing what you look like etc. Except of course that these days we all have photographs of ourselves, and those are accurate)

    That’s why nobody likes pictures of themselves. Your face isn’t symmetrical, so when you see a picture, everything is reversed and although it’s usually not noticible, you know something isn’t right.

    Actually, I like pictures of myself. Except for the ones that show how my belly bulges out.

    Of course, in the 6th Grade, one of the teachers dubbed me “Narcissus,” so that should tell you something.

    I don’t think that seeing my face as it really is would solve any of my problems, but it might make me laugh 🙂 I’d like that mirror from Harry Potter & the Philosopher’s Stone
